Newcastle vs. Bournemouth: Head-to-head record and past meetings

In their first game since Andoni Iraola's impending departure was announced, Bournemouth endeavour to extend their unbeaten Premier League run to a magnificent 13 matches in Saturday's showdown with Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Shortly after leading the Cherries to their longest-ever Premier League undefeated sequence with last weekend's deserved 2-1 win at Arsenal, Iraola was confirmed to be stepping down from his position at the end of the season when his deal expires, and the Spaniard will be facing one of his rumoured suitors this weekend.

For now, however, the 43-year-old remains focused on the task at hand with Bournemouth, who may be in the bottom half of the Premier League table but are only three points below Chelsea in sixth spot as the race for Europe goes down to the wire.

A further three points separate Bournemouth from a struggling Newcastle side, who have lost each of their last three matches in all tournaments after last weekend's 2-1 reverse to Crystal Palace - the seventh time this season that the Magpies have taken the lead in a Premier League match only to suffer defeat.

Here, Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Newcastle United and Bournemouth.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 23

Newcastle wins: 8

Draws: 8

Bournemouth wins: 7

Newcastle United and Bournemouth have faced each other a total of 23 times across all competitions, and the Magpies shade the head-to-head record eight wins to seven.

The very first clash between these two clubs occurred back in November 1963, when Bournemouth - who were known as Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic at the time - secured a 2-1 home triumph in the third round of the League Cup.

It would take Newcastle an entire decade to gain revenge, beating their opponents in the FA Cup third round, though they won only one of their nest four meetings with the Cherries (D1, L2).

Since Bournemouth were promoted to the Premier League for the first time in 2015, the Cherries have come out on top in only four of their 15 top-flight encounters with the Magpies, including back-to-back victories in March 2016 (3-1) and November 2017 (1-0) under former boss Eddie Howe, who is now in charge of the Magpies.

Newcastle have won a total of five times in the Premier League against Bournemouth, while they also secured a narrow 1-0 home victory over the Cherries in an EFL Cup fourth round tie in December 2022.

Since then, the Magpies have failed to win any of their last six top-flight meetings with Bournemouth, including four draws, and Howe now holds the joint-record for the number of Premier League games that a manager has failed to beat their former side.

The most recent league clash between Newcastle and Bournemouth saw two defensively strong teams play out a 0-0 draw at the Vitality Stadium in September 2025, and while that stalemate pushed Andoni Iraola's side into the top three, the visitors set a division record as the first team to draw all of their first three away games 0-0.

The pair then met in the third round of the FA Cup in January 2026, with Newcastle winning 7-6 on penalties following a 3-3 draw.
